Three of the events that I miss during secondary school life 2

Okay, continue with the third event. This event doesnt really happen in the beginning of the year, actually I wanted to write about decorating the notice board and preparing for Chess competition, but suddenly I remember about this very meaningful event.

The third event that I will miss is none other than Co-curricular Day or Hari Kokurikulum. This event replaced the Canteen Day or Hari Kantin in the third year of my secondary school life if not mistaken. If I must talk about this event in detail, it will really take up a lot of time, so I will just make a summary of thie event. Everything started back when I was Form 1, still innocent and cute looking of course, that time was still Hari Kantin. After some discussion among our classmates, we decided to... Okay, total blank here, just consulted Seow Chein, we students of 1Sc1 sold fried stuffs and drinks, some very normal food and beverage. Fine, I have no recollection about hari Kantin that year at all. Must continue to the second year now, this one I remember!!! After confirmation with S.C., our class sold sushi and flowers in the second year, kinda fun experience, because we slept over at Xiao Wee's place, still remember we watched a horror movie called "shuang tong", terribly scary, for me of course. Forgot who went to stay at her house already also, but Kok Long I am sure he went, if not mistaken, Gen Xin and Jun Wei were there too. Come to think of it, my memory power seems to be really poor... So we slept at around 11 something and woke up early in the morning (really early, like 3 or 4 something in the morning). Then we began to "help" Xiao Wee's father to make sushis, actually we didnt do anything at all, all we did was eat, eat and eat. If not mistaken, the others, the girls went to pack the flowers and sent them, so our class was very intelligent in distributing the tasks hahahaha. To conclude, that year's sales was extremely good until we held this celebration at Xue Ling's house, barbeque. Finally moving on to Form 3, 4 and 5, as the school decided to replace the Canteen Day by Co-Curricular Day, they had been some slight changes as we were to help our cocuricular bodies to earn money so that all events held by the bodies can run smoothly. So, I helped Taekwondo Club for the three years, and ELS for the last year. Taekwondo Club, as we had a lot of members, could do more things than other clubs, so we sold food and organised some games on that day itself and sold fruits in the week before the Day. Of course with our hard work, we did earn quite a big amount of money, used to purchase more equipments for training purposes. For ESL, we earned money quite fast too, by selling eggs, which was done by the Chinese Language Society in the previous years (in the end, we halved the eggs and sold them separately). Other than that, songs dedication was done by ELS too, that one was a money spinner as a lot of people, despite of dedicating songs, like to sing songs on their own, so extra charges were earned!

So thats all for the "short" summary about the last event. Of course there's still a lot of interesting happenings that occured during this event, like back when my sis was in form 5, how her class sold otak-otak, the not so interesting but people are willing to pay for haunted house, preparation for the Day, and the very funny exhibition done by Taekwondo Club ( I dont think many people will remember that).

PS: Guess I will ask those in YP for breakfast this Saturday morning, to support juniors in the cross country event
